A Quick & Easy Guide to Queer & Trans Identities by J.R. Zuckerberg, Mady G

“In this quick and easy guide to queer and trans identities, cartoonists Mady G and JR Zuckerberg guide you through the basics of the LGBT+ world! Covering essential topics like sexuality, gender identity, coming out, and navigating relationships, this guide explains the spectrum of human experience through informative comics, interviews, worksheets, and imaginative examples. A great starting point for anyone curious about queer and trans life, and helpful for those already on their own journeys!” (Goodreads.com)

This non-fiction graphic novel was informative and fun. It’s easy to digest, which makes it a great companion to have in every school and household. It stresses that identity is a process, and because of this, it gives readers the terms they need to help them through that process. Its colorful and fanciful drawings make it a fun read. It allows the reader to see the characters for who they are, rather than a gendered being, which is great for non-binary individuals.

I recommend this graphic novel if you want to learn more about Queer and Trans Identities or want to help inform others about LGBTQ terms.
